The Anglo-Maori Warder. THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1848.
By the Deborah, Captain Nagle, we have files of Sydney papers up to July 24. As might be expected they are much taken up with the English debates on the New Zealand Government Bill, a foretaste to themselves of «ha| th«y are "presently to expect. They seem to K|ve*<niade themselves very easy about their constitution, seeming to think, that the Mtt and cry which was raised against it, will secu|e them from its introducion. We believe, ourselves, that New South . Wales is too strong to be played tricks with;
but Lord Gttmr is a man tenacious of purpose, and possibly, may give them trouble yet. The EuropesK news is still of the same caste. Up t tithe 3rd of April, war had not been declared ,nor did there appear to be any immediate fr >r of it; although the force sent by San inia to the assistance of the Milanese was likely to provoke the Austrians, and thus lead to that attack which the English ministry had declared they would consider a Casus Belli.
Venice had declared itself a republic, but we are not informed what peculiar form of republican government has been adopted. Ireland, " that political bog which swallows up every ministry," is in a frightful stato ; rifle clubs formed, pike-heads manufactured, arms of all kinds sold at unheard of price, and " Young Ireland " unceasingly at work, with its blood-thirsty eloquence, to fan the fire into a flame.
It is to be feared that the next news will be of a most distressing character. The illustrious fugitives, as they are called, find themselves received with English hospitality, save only in this, that they are severely handled by the English press. The part which that unscrupulous old man played during the fifteen years of the restoration, " la comedie de quinze ans," as it was called—his treachery to his weak, but well meaning cousin, and his grasping avarice, are daily thrown in his teeth. "He came in like a fox, governed like a wolf, and was driven out like a dog." " The fate of Louis Philippe," says an English journal," is a great moral lesson :it teaches us the uselessness of trickery and cunning, however adroitly managed by the most consummate tactitian. A little common honesty, a sprinkling of correct moral feeling, a grain of true wisdom, and he might have died a King, and transmitted the crown to his heirs." Let not the example be lost on us. Her Majesty's ship Havannah, 22 guns, Capt. Herringham, was advertised to receive mails for Sydney and New Zealand, on the 5Lh April. She may therefore now be shortly expected.
